Social Studies
What is the difference between social studies and history?
I really want to get into this college and the requirements are 2 years of social studies and 2 years of history. I, personally, thought they’re the same subject, but I guess not…
History is a more specific subject, and while it is part of what is known as “social studies”, it is only one among them. Other social studies subjects are geography, sociology, anthropology, linguistics. government/political science, gender studies, etc. As the name implies, social studies tends to deal with society and everything related to it. While any good history class will deal with social topics (as history does not happen in a vacuum), it sometimes helps to delve into fields like sociology in order to understand why things are the way they are. At a basic level, history deals with what happens- it answers the “what?”. Social studies subjects help answer the “why?”. Social studies is largely synonymous with “humanities” at the college level.

Countless children hummed their way through so… |
